The Book of Tomorrow
by Cecelia Ahern
Reading Cecelia Ahern is like reading magic. She draws you in with her amazing prose and keeps you intrigued with characters you connect with and care about. I adore her writing.
The Book of Tomorrow was very good. I think the descriptions provided by Goodreads and Amazon are a bit misleading. Yes, there is a diary that foretells the events of the next day for Tamara, but I would not say that it is the focus of the novel.
This novel is extremely character driven and primarily focused on Tamara Goodwin and the drastic changes to her live after the death of her father. Her entire life is changed and not just because her father has died. In the wake of his death, financial problems plague Tamara and her mother, and they are forced to go live in the countryside with relatives. Tamara has to leave her friends, the home and town she grew up in, and her lifestyle. Tamara’s struggle with these issues and how she learns to navigate her new life are the focus of this book. The magical diary comes into the story rather late and is really more of an interesting side note than the full focus of the novel.
Tamara is a great character. She is snarky and amazing and smart and open…she is exceptional. Sometimes, I wasn’t sure if I loved or hated her, but by the end of the novel I totally adored her. I loved her spunk and how she handled herself in situations that would have thrown other 17-year-olds for a major loop.
The Book of Tomorrow didn’t read particularly quickly for me, but that doesn’t take away from the enjoyment of it. The book is dense in detail and character development.
I loved this book. I would absolutely recommend it!
